Yes, it's time for what I think may be our annual Sea Shepherd bake sale. Right now, Operation Divine Wind is interfering with illegal whaling in Antarctic waters (no whales killed yet this season!), while our Cove Guardians are on the ground in Taiji, Japan for the annual dolphin slaughter. So please come down, get some sweets for your sweetie, and support these and other campaigns.

Sea Shepherd NYC volunteers will be on hand to sell merch and answer any questions you may have about the campaign. They’re also the people to talk to if you want to become a member or sign up for the Direct Action Crew. Last year, Sea Shepherd cut the Japanese whaling fleet's quota by 80%. Let’s help them cut it by 100% this year. All while hanging out with fabulous people and eating delicious food.

The Boring Details:

MooShoes will be opening its doors to us at 12 PM to set up. If you are bringing food, supplies, etc. PLEASE arrive at the store by 12 PM. We will need time to set up the bake goods as well as our merchandise and literature table. Once you’ve dropped off your stuff, room might be tight, so please don’t hate us if we ask you to step outside until we’re ready for the shopping to begin. Weather permitting, we’ll have chalk on hand for people to write things like BAKE SALE FOR OCEAN CONSERVATION on the sidewalk.

LABELING: Please prepare a card or print out with the name of the baked goods you have prepared and a note of anything special about it (gluten free, soy free, nuts, etc.) Additionally, please label its container with the same information and attach a piece of paper with the ingredient list, including the ingredients of the products you used to make the baked goods. That includes either the name and type of your ingredients (e.g., Whole Foods Vegan Chocolate Chips, Earth Balance made with olive oil, etc.) or include the ingredients of that product.

CONTAINERS and UTENSILS: If you want your container back at the end of the bake sale, please label it with your name. If your baked good requires cutting, scooping, tonging, flipping, spatulating or anything else, please bring the appropriate utensils. Please label them if you want them back and please either pick up the containers and utensils around 5:30 PM or make arrangements for someone to pick them up for you.

Wish I had more time and money but I have a project to buy supplies for and just managed to afford to make crumb cake! It's looking pretty good and I hope the bake sale sees hundreds of people by the end of the day.

My wee Leela isn't up for travel yet, or I would have been there in body, as well as in spirit. But I thought of you and sent lots of good happy money vibes, so I hope that helped :) No one does a bake sale like SSD!
